Hamilton Pedway System Year built: 1974 Context: Other Context, Sub context: No Sub-context Theme: Design/Construction, Other No Sub-Type C/3/3 5S3 Significant example of pedestrian infrastructure in Downtown Los Angeles. This network of elevated pedestrian corridors, or pedways, links several buildings and sites in Bunker Hill. It was conceived in the 1960s as a means of improving the quality of pedestrian circulation, and was also envisioned as part a mechanized people mover system that was never built. Named for then-director of City Planning Calvin S. Hamilton, the pedway network was constructed between 1974 and 1981, and is illustrative of trends in city planning and urban redevelopment after World War II.
